#NedinDarwin Challenge
We're breaking an Australian record!
To celebrate Sidney Nolan’s Ned Kelly series in Darwin, MAGNT calls on you to participate in the #NedinDarwin Challenge. Help us reach more than 100 Ned Kelly lookalikes to make a new record for The Australian Book of Records!
Everyone is welcome to join in the fun and emulate Australia’s legendary bushranger. Sport a Ned Kelly inspired helmet or show off your real (or fake!) beard and moustache.
-
First 100 #NedinDarwin lookalikes to register on the day receive a Ned Kelly pie from Outback Bakery
-
Most Impressive Helmet wins a Delaneys Country and Western Store gift voucher
-
Most Impressive Beard and Moustache receives a Diamond Barbers gift voucher
Join us to achieve this exciting #NedinDarwin Australian record.
What's on
No beard? No worries!
Make your own Ned Kelly helmet
You don't need a Kelly-style beard to participate in the #NedinDarwin Challenge – creative Ned Kelly-style helmets are another great way to get involved!
Craft your own helmet from materials you find around the house or download our #NedinDarwin helmet mask.
